Julie Montagu

Pics or it didn’t happen- right? Or at least it seems like the case for most reality TV stars which does make sense since they do live out some of their biggest moments in front of a reality TV crew. So it’s not surprising that they shared some great photos for this week’s Instagram Roundup. This is especially true during the holiday season. It seems like almost everyone is getting into the holiday spirit these days.

It’s National Bikini Day – a holiday you have never heard of, but it’s the perfect opportunity for a photo roundup of our favorite reality stars wearing bikinis.

Above, Real Housewives Of Beverly Hillsstar Lisa Rinna combined her two loves – baring everything and her lips. “HH brought me back a Lips Bikini. Yes my hair is different in this shot. And Yes I’m 53. And yes I f–king own it.”

To kick off this week’s Instagram roundup, we have Teen Mom OG and Marriage Boot Camp: Family Edition star Farrah Abraham showing off her sex doll. And it is somehow related to sharing a room with her parents. <blank stare> Honestly, your guess is as good as mine, because Farrah. “My room be like… #BoomBoomRoom …with both my parents. LMAO. Love my sex doll. @WEtv #FamilyBootcamp #TheAbrahams” is the caption she added to the pic.

Season 3 of Ladies Of London may be behind them, but Caroline Stanbury and Juliet Angus are still going strong as true blue BFFs. The ladies have been snapping pics of their joint family vacation in the French Alps, showing that time and distance are of no matter when it comes to lasting friendship. But it’s not all rosy among the entire cast – in fact, Juliet insinuates there are some women she frankly never wants to see again! Caroline, however, is working on mending her relationships with her close friends, Sophie Stanbury and Adela King, both of whom she recently reunited with in London.

Caroline also admits she didn’t come across well this season and expresses regret for some of her behavior. “It’s hard for me. Watching it back, I wasn’t my normal light, breezy self because I felt attacked. It seemed like I thought I was better than the other girls simply because I didn’t want to say something I regretted. I tried to take myself out of it as much as I could and away from them and stay away from them.”

Sniff, sniff. Waving our hankies at Ladies Of London as it recedes on a slow tide of broken friendships, dusty castles, and tear-stained titles is all we can do now. Season three left us with more questions than answers. Like, is Caroline Stanbury okay with Sophie Stanbury and Adela King these days? (Answer: yes, according to recent Instagram posts.) Will Julie Montagu be able to stop vibrating long enough to save Mapperton, one Made In China tchotchke at a time? Can Juliet Angus possibly survive in London, sans Caroline S handing her marching orders?

And more to the point, will Marissa Hermer’s balls-to-the-wall press junket this week work in securing her a future spot on The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills? Or at least a meeting with Lisa Vanderpump about hubby Matt Hermer’s alleged plans to open a club in West Hollywood? (Because if that sh*t ain’t transparent, I don’t know what is.) Alas, one final, painful question remains: Will Bravo cancel Ladies Of London now that two of its cast members are, well, not in London anymore? Although Marissa and Caroline S likely plan on spending summers back in the UK, that might not be reason enough to keep filming. Maybe a cast shakeup will come our way. But I refuse to accept a dire outcome yet. So, chin up, good people! For now, we must keep calm and snark on! Because this finale was a doozie.

With Cem and the children already in Dubai, Caroline S is holing up in the Westbury Hotel for her last week in London. Sophie joins her for a massage, telling Caroline that she’s relieved they’re back to being buds again. Caroline thinks that says a lot about her. Something tells me she isn’t all in with the rebirth of the Stanbury Sisters just yet.

Well you know how a good reality star can never get enough camera time! In this week’s roundup of photos Phaedra Parks supports the Atlanta Falcons, Leah Messer swears she’s gotten her act together, and Brandi Glanville gets intimate.

“Monday is the least favourite day of the week for many people,” continued Julie, “But Blue Monday… well, it’s considered the worst Monday of them all. The party season is over, we may have already broken our resolutions, our bank account is in the red, and if you live in a cold climate for the month of January… the grey days don’t help either. Blue Monday is considered the most depressing day of the year. Yikes.”

Below you’ll find Kathryn Dennis dealing with her own blues, and more!

After last week’s lighthearted fun-fest, it’s only natural that the reality TV gods demand some meaningless drama from our Ladies Of London. And this week, that drama finds its way to the Henley Royal Regatta, where Adela King just can’t take another moment of playing nice with Juliet Angus. Also, Julie Montagu continues to hold a grudge against Sophie Stanbury for quitting the role of Caroline Stanbury Hater #2. But Sophie isn’t about to jump into Julie’s stew of resentment anymore. I guess Julie will just have to bathe in her own royal-ish mess. (Perhaps she’ll dry off with a Mapperton tea towel?)

There’s also a steady theme of mothers and daughters woven throughout last night’s episode that, I’m not ashamed to say, really touched me. It was subtle and unexpected and, after it all came together in the final scene, seemed to elevate this show to a new level in my view. Bravo to Bravo for airing a show that while petty at times, never lets petty actually take the wheel. But it’s still a bumpy ride, folks…so, let’s get to it!
